One of my favorite tropes is the power couple. Just. Two people who are equally talented and hardworking and worthy of respect at different things, and then you add them TOGETHER? Magical.
moral of the story: never eat food dazai willingly spent ￥5000 on and gave it to the port mafia
inspired by the amount of durian that was consumed at work in the past week. personally i’m no fan of it but the others loved it so much they stank up the office for 3 days lol ;;;;
a non-exhaustive list of photos that go up on the wall in the foxhole court lounge before neil josten graduates:
nicky and aaron and kevin jammed into one side of a fast food restaurant booth at 3am on new years day, eating burgers while looking varying stages of wasted (taken by an amused dan from the next booth over, from between neil and andrew’s heads)
renee alone, an artistic shot that captures the light in her hair, turning it into a proper rainbow, and the gilded line of her jaw and cheek (everyone thinks it was taken by dan. it was allison)
aaron and katelyn together, aaron’s expression so quiet and so, so light as he looks up at her where she’s perched on a table looking back (taken by allison, who knows what it means to be a pretty girl who loves someone all broken inside. she’s not jealous that katelyn has better luck than her - she’s, in a strange way, proud)
kevin and wymack talking on the sidelines, serious as always, taken to catch wymack’s attentively bowed head and the considering light in kevin’s eyes (you better believe dan took that one)
neil lying back against andrew’s side, andrew’s arm hooked over his shoulder and his hand splayed loose and easy over neil’s chest while he stares out the window, neil’s chin on his chest as he sleeps, taken on a long bus ride home (taken by renee. andrew knows it was her - she took him turning his face away as the tacit permission it was)
dan and matt kissing and grinning and kissing, helmets under arms, at the end of dan’s last practice before the penultimate game of her final season as fox captain (taken by renee from the bench, with a smile on her own face)
the entire team with the trophy, the one that proves them better than a one-shot wonder after all (taken by katelyn, heart so swollen with pride she can barely swallow)
the girls arm in arm, dressed in fox orange, all grinning after their graduation ceremony in abby’s backyard
the aftermath of that, where matt bounds in behind them and hugs the three of them at once so they’re all in various stages of open-mouthed yelling and laughing (both taken by a gruff but impossibly proud wymack)
matt bent over to talk to neil on the court, their height difference comical (a sports photographer took that one, but nicky’s the one to put it on the wall. neil is bemused)
nicky and erik, from his surprise visit during the last games of the fall season, where nicky has obviously been smiling (taken by neil, at nicky’s request but without complaint)
andrew’s profile and neil’s face in focus, capturing the intensity with which he looks at andrew - more open than he would have known how to be a few years back, and just a little soft (taken by nicky. fair’s fair)
neil alone by the whiteboard in the lounge, arms crossed and mouth open as he lectures the freshman (read; tears them to pieces) as their captain (taken by matt, who admires neil’s ability to verbally destroy people)
kevin and neil talking to the press, in gear but with their helmets off. kevin smiling (they won), neil’s eyes cool and serious (a press shot that nicky cut out and put up. kevin likes that they look like professionals in it, and likes having neil josten beside him)
kevin and wymack at his graduation, heads together. kevin’s smiling (taken by neil because kevin as a human belongs to the foxes, and belongs on the wall)
matt in the jersey of his new pro team under his graduation gown, posing like a superhero with an arm thrown over his head (taken by neil, laughing)
matt and nicky grinning with the ocean in the background, arms over shoulders (taken by dan on their group trip to california - there’s blurs in the background that would, with a sharper focus, resolve into a sunburn-victim neil, a black-clad arm belonging to andrew, the back of kevin’s head, and the irrepressible and smiling jeremy knox, their guide for the day)
andrew leaning against the driver side door of the maserati in an undisclosed location, staring into the camera like he’s challenging the man behind it (neil. it’s neil)
Jeremy did not think Jean knew the effect he had on him, in fact, was almost certain he did not.
He thought it cliché, that someone so beautiful didn’t know they were, but
it was true and it hurt his heart when he looked at him but also made
him smile, sad but more happy than anything. Jean seemed to have that ability, to make him both happy and sad in the same moment.
Now though, Jean has that
blank look on his face that means he’s somewhere else where Jeremy cannot reach him. He had gotten this way the first time someone had raised a hand in
high five and he had flinched but then stilled like he expected a blow to
knock him over. He got this way still, on bad nights and good nights, often but
becoming less so.
“Jean,” Jeremy
says. He hovers a hand over his cheek and waits for Jean to recognize
him before resting it on his cheek, cupping his face in both hands and then
pressing their foreheads together, mouths a breath apart.
Anonymous asked: do you take prompts? i love love LOVE the renison doodle. if you feel like it could you do nicky trying to take a selfie with andrew gazing at neil for x reason in the background? or just nicky + cousins in general?
i mean you can absolutely send me prompts but sometimes i’ll digress
halfway through and instead of nicky taking a selfie with andrew
gazing at neil you’ll get nicky trying to take a selfie with andrew
gazing at neil training but andrew turned around mid selfie because
doodling the back of andrew’s head will have proven impossible and
nicky’s face went from smug to this is not what i planned but he
snapchats it anyway because he caught a hilarious scene which is @foxholetower‘s idea except with aaron in the
background without meaning to
tl;dr u can send me prompts but i’ll probably mess them up thanks & sorry
